On Friday, January 27th, the 2017 ESA All-Star Team was announced at a Surf Expo celebration that also honored Eastern Surfing Association’s 50th anniversary. Their new motto “cultivating one surf legend at a time” had particular resonance with Cory Lopez introducing the young squad, Kelly Slater on the cover of ESM’s January 2017 issue, and a who’s who of legendary East Coasters in the packed crowd.
